A Case Goes Before The Supreme Court

On Tuesday, April 29, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the LabCorp v. Davis case. ACB has been intimately involved with this case from the beginning. The case was brought to ensure that LabCorp provide accessible check-in systems for blind and low vision customers. The company, and other phlebotomy laboratory companies like it, have in recent years eliminated receptionists and now require patients to sign in on inaccessible tablets.

Message from the FAA

ACB received this message from our contact at the FAA On April 24.

Dear Advocates: 

I am pleased to announce that the Department’s Office of Aviation Consumer Protection will launch the first phase of the “Aviation Complaint, Enforcement, and Reporting System” (ACERS) at 9 am EST on Friday, August 1, 2025.  

Update to the Texas v. Becerra Case

On April 11, the Texas court stayed, or in other words, paused, the challenge to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The case previously known as Texas v. Becerra, now Texas v. Kennedy, stated that it will no longer challenge the constitutionality of Section 504. This is a big win after countless hours of advocacy by the disability community. The court will now more narrowly address questions of the coverage of gender dysphoria.

Potential Funding Cuts to Disability Programs

It is rumored that several disability and aging programs in Washington DC are facing funding cuts. The programs include the Protection and Advocacy programs, Councils on Developmental Disabilities, and long term care ombudsmen.

The National Disability Rights Network (NDRN) has created a call to action to enable constituents to reach out to their Congressmembers and ask them to protect the necessary funding. To reach out to your representatives and senators, please follow the link below.

Accessible Credit Reports

ACB remains in the window of a settlement agreement it has with the three major credit bureaus: Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. Through the agreement, the providers must make your credit review in an accessible format: braille, large print, or audio. You can make a request for the credit report by calling 1-877-322-8228.
